While I am doing manual stuff or driving, I like to listen to educational programs with cordless headphones or on my iPhone. Here are the best science & technology news and interviews I have found.

They are all free from the iTunes store, or you can go to their own websites.

  • Launch iTunes on your Mac and click on iTunes Store.
  • In the main menu, choose "Podcasts".
  • In the categories menu, choose "Science and Medicine".
  • On the right side of the "Featured" box, click on "See All". There are 5 pages to browse through.
My favorites are:
  • "Science Times" from the New York Times.
  • "The Science Show" from Australia's Radio National ABC.
  • "Science in Action" from the BBC World Service.
  • "Futures in Biotech"
  • "biobytes" - Life sciences from The Rockefeller University
  • "NPR: Science Friday Podcast"
  • "The Loh Down on Science Podcast" (Only about 2 minutes. Humorous science.)
  • "Science Talk: The Podcast of Scientific American"
  • "Nature podcast"
  • "WNYC's Radio Lab"
  • "NPR: On Health Podcast"
  • "TWIT: This Week in Tech" hosted by Leo Laporte
  • "Mac Break Weekly" hosted by Leo Laporte
  • "tech5" - 5 minutes of commentary by John C. Dvorak
  • "PRI: Living on Earth"
  • "APM: Marketplace" 30 minutes every weekday
  • "Creative Screenwriting Magazine" - Interviews with screenwriters in front of a live audience. Three good interviews to start with are:
    • Andrew Stanton- Wall-E
    • Michael Moore- Sicko
    • Christopher McQuarrie- Valkyrie
Let me know what you think of them.
